Google Fails Me

[drplokta]

The Aga's ovens aren't very wide, but they're deep. And so I want a bread/pizza peel that I can use to take full advantage of them and put a large pizza or three loaves into the oven. That means that the blade needs to be 12" x 18", and I can't find any such thing on the Internet -- there are some things that size that call themselves pizza peels, but they're actually serving plates and don't have long handles. Does anyone know of such a thing (or have better Google-fu than me)?

Is this at all suitable? http://www.nisbets.co.uk/Pizza-Peel-Medium/F036/ProductDetail.raction

I googled for [professional catering equipment] and used the vendor's site search.

That ones looks pretty similar to the peel that I have, which is a 12" square blade, but the "Pizza Peel Large" on the same site looks like it might do the trick. Thanks.

No, I think I'm wrong; the size difference is the handle and they both have 12" square blades.

Or an oar?

How much are you willing to pay for shipping? http://www.amazon.com/American-Metalcraft-Extra-Large-Blade/dp/B001PHMT0G/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_4

I'm afraid that one is too big -- 16" wide won't fit into the oven.

These folks have a variety of combinations http://lillsun.com/pizza_peels.html

Perhaps too obvious, but have you tried searching in metric, just in case?

Surely you must be acquainted with a blacksmith who could make you precisely what you want?

Around here we only know farriers, not blacksmiths. And I don't think a big horseshoe will quite do the trick. I suppose I could see if Phil WINOLJ wants something to do with the forge at the bottom of his garden.

In Italian, a peel is called un pale. So google pale per pizza: here are some of the results. The 3rd one is in English and lets you specify dimensions

eta: this looks pretty comprehensive too, and came up further down the list using the above search:
